Recensione:
"Kuper is a colossus; I have been in awe of him for over twenty years. Teachers and students everywhere, take heart: Kuper has in these pages borne witness to our seemingly endless struggle to educate and to be educated in the face of institutions that really don't give a damn. In this ruined age we need Kuper's unsparing compassionate visionary artistry like we need hope." --Junot Diaz, Pulitzer Prize-winning author of The Brief Wondrous Life of Oscar Wao
"Peter Kuper is undoubtedly the modern master whose work has refined the socially relevant comic to the highest point yet achieved." --Newsarama.com
"Kuper has long been among the most politically engaged and stylistically distinctive artists working in comics, and both qualities take center stage here." --Publishers Weekly
"[Kuper's] attempt to escape the last years of the Bush Administration led him to relocate to a town that turned out to be under martial law, in an area plagued by riptides, ecotourists, and stray dogs, all faithfully--and hilariously--documented here." --New Yorker
"In the hands of an illustrator with such creative gifts, Oaxaca is a brilliant dreamscape whose bugs and vegetation are as visually appealing as its protest graffiti and wild dogs." --World Literature in Review
